I am only 6 years younger than Peter Green and I thought I looked old! I really used to love his playing in the old days with John Mayall and the original Fleetwood Mac. Sadly these days Peter really looks and plays completely worn out. Just a shadow of his former self. After watching some of these old "vintage" musicians playing it makes me feel much better about my musical skills as a guitarist myself.
A chris brown advert before this song? you've got to be fucking kidding right? im not against the idea of advertisements on youtube but seriously dial down to them being fucking relevant i dont want to hear the music of some shitty sample spinning wife beating wanker who cant sing.
with the greatest respect to chewbaka from star wars, i and every body else wants to hear peter play the lead on this one, its the only way it should be!
Peter has written some of the finest songs ever, played some of the greatest riffs ever but......the original version he did of this was the absolute supreme song ever. His guitar playing then and his voice were just superb!
There is an old saying about dancing bears "it is not a wonder how well the bear dances but that it dances at all". After everything that life has thrown at Peter it is a wonder that he is on stage at all. Ok much of his playing is not up to the old standard BUT there are flashes of his genius and those of us who have loved his music for so many years must cling to those flashes and savour them.
Peter is the gentleman in the vertical stripe shirt and the red/brown cap playing the sky blue Fender Strat. My good friends managed Peter's Splinter Group for many years and I had the honour of mixing them once. Mr Green is sadly a shadow of his former self but we thank him for what he gave us. No one has his touch and finesse.
The beardy man who takes the opening solo bends out of tune and has the touch of a rhinocerous. I was just listening rather than watching and went "wtf!" as I thought PG was playing. What a relief to discover it wasn't him. Just tompare to Greenies oh sol perfect bends, vibrato and tone in the second solo. God he's good.
@yoyodude4u These guys are probably looking at Nigel Watson and, correctly, saying "That's not Peter Green" Peter's the one with the soft voiceand the hat, guys!
So good to see PG still performing and sounding fine despite the hard road he has walked. I used to chat to him occasionally when I lived in Richmond back in the early 80's, and he was a gentle soul. The kids would call him Wolfman and chuck stones at him but he just shrugged it off with a sad smile. His dreams of a better world never quite came to fruition but he still lives in hope, a lesson to us all.He's had the blues alright...
@scotswanderer his name is nigel watson,an old friend from the early fleetwood mac days,and largely responsible for convinceing peter to pick up the guitar again...so many thanks must go to him..
saw the fragile as a cobweb genius Peter Green at moles jazz club Bath...fab set..he really warmed up and finished with a Kick ass version of Oh-Well..but let this beautiful man do a gig at the albert hall with some truly amazing singers..like George Michael, Sinead O'connor..tom Jones, Duffy, Robert Plant .clapton, mccartney.....get the picture, you impressarios out there..

@fosseseptique when did moles become a jazz club? I've been going there for years, never seen any jazz there mate. I missed mr green down there was it good?
Peter is good in this but only for Nigel Watson and the splinter group we wouldnt have heard many of the old Fleetwood mac songs. Seen Peter and friends last year in Dublin and they only played a couple of old Mac songs. The legend lives on...
